Cheers mate, i used alot of elbow grease and a can of High Temperature silver spray, i think 500degree's it can withstand. Well happy with it
Re: [Mk2] [NA] Engine Bay Before and After :)
And there was me thinking you'd scrubed with a solvent or something but no, you took the easy way out
j/k mate
(I did the same, ahem _)

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Engine Bay Before and After :)
would something like a hamerite spray do the job?
im closer and closer to doing this....polished look just seems like WAY to much hard work.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] Engine Bay Before and After :)
now that looks the business just a bit to scary for me im ok with most mechanical stuff, But id end up forgetting where the last 5 screws go
might buy a 2nd hand cam cover and heat shielf prepare and paint myself then get the local garage to fit them (family friends work their) nice and cheap hopefully,
Time to go look on ebay me think.
One other thing whats the crack the sand blasting these would it be to abraisive?
